Is there any update in the parallel processing feature? GFS is a nice feature that adds convenience over normal media pools. Giving it a performance burden over normal media pools, when obviously the parallel processing mechanism is already tried and tested is most frustrating. Also, when using per vm files, better tape job error handling would be welcome.... If I have a tape copy job (GFS or not) that includes 5 vms and the job fails... Surely we should be able to identify with VM we were copying to tape at the time, rather than ditching the whole copy set?

My feature request is to enable parallel tape processing for GFS media pools. In this case, one GFS tape backup job, can use two tape drives simultaneously.

Our weekly GFS tape backup jobs need a lot of time to complete. Because of this time-consuming tape backup jobs, we have two tape drives. It would save more time, if we could combine those two drives, in one tape job. Unfortunately, that is not possible at this moment. That's why we have two GFS tape jobs; one for each tape drive. We would rather use one GFS tape backup job which can use both drives simultaneously. More info here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/parallel_processing.html?ver=95
